History
Etymology
From Middle English mylne, mille, from Old English mylen, from Proto-West Germanic *mulīnu (“mill”), from Late Latin molīna, molīnum, molīnus (“mill”), from Latin molō (“grind, mill”, verb), closely allied to Proto-Germanic *muljaną (“to crush, grind”) (see English millstone). Perhaps cognate with Milne (a surname). Doublet of moline, moulin, and blin.
Ultimately from Latin millesimum. The clipping comes by way of the clipped word, millimetre.
Clipping of million.
Back-formation from millstone, name of a Magic: The Gathering card with this effect (first printed 1994).
